Sujood as-sahw according to the Hanafi School
Assalaamu alaykum. We pray behind a Hanafi Imam who, if there is a need to perform sujud as-sawh (prostration of forgetfulness), does it in this manner: After reciting the tashahud [not the darud and du'a ma'surah], he gives salam to the right only and then performs sujud as-sawh and again recites the full tashahhud including darud and du'a ma'sura..

Women following the imaam when praying in the mosque
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in Saudi Arabia, where women go to a mosque to pray when the shops are closed for any prayer. I do go to a mosque to make sure to pray on time. I used to follow the imam although the women are in a separate place, but I later discontinued following the imam after learning that women are are not supposed to follow him. Therefore,.. More

Reciting istiftaah in the prayer is a Sunnah
If we are to use the time for which the imam pauses after the first takbeer for Surah Al-Faatihah, then does that mean that we should give up on the opening supplication when praying behind an imam? I read in a hadith that there is a great reward in the opening supplication.

Praying behind an Imaam who seeks help from the dead
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding the permissibility of praying behind an imam who is an innovator. Near my house, there are two mosques at equal distance apart. One mosque is upon a lot of innovations, like saying the intention out loud before the prayer, reading dhikr (remembrance of Allaah) in unison after the prayer and making mass.. More

Making up for missed prayers if their number is not known
I started praying when I almostturned 16 if my memory serves me correctly. I missed most prayers before that, not all.

I have read that one should make up for the missed prayers out of caution.1- My first question is, from what time? I have an approximate,.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. My question is the following: which of the two is better, praying at night or staying up late at night to seek knowledge? Also, when did the Salaf (pious predecessors) sleep when they remained awake all night? I do not think that they used to waste the blessings of the morning?

Our country is, sometimes, subject to terrorist attacks that may specifically target the police or soldiers, and there have also been some attacks on mosques. As such, according to my father, our mosque is a possible target. Sometimes, for a few days after such an attack, he would.. More

No authentic narration states that Taraaweeh is eight rak'ahs
Assalamu alaykum. I read a hadith and would like to know the authenticity of the hadith and narrators.

It is not an obligation on the followers to give the imaam of the masjid a monthly salary
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. Should an imam be placed on a monthly salary, even when the followers are not financially viable. Or is it mandatory that an imam take 1/5 of what ever value or volume of money or items are donated to the masjid? Please, support your answers with either a Quranic verse or a sound hadith. Thank you.
